Valincar uses Razing Ambition on King! 28 Dmg! (INT) [User's stats +20%]

MP: 46/75

Cloaked in his ghostly magic, it seemed that most of his allies were safe for the time being. "You're most welcome," he replied softly, directed towards Rosetta before catching sight of the approaching stag that had assaulted the reckless Annon. Valincar clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, his mind focused on gathering a dark cloud of energy. As he felt the energy rise and nearly break out of his control, his eyes opened sharply and he unleashed the wave of darkness towards the stag, the lingering sparks strengthening his own well-being. The same could not be said of his target.

"Annon, don't get too close. Those things are dangerous!" he advised his comrade. Though a large help, the tricky fellow wasn't physically capable of taking the hits from the stags, and risked infection from the virus in any case.

Valincar waits.

Julia uses Paradise!

MP: 58/85

Julia finally stopped in her place and snapped her fingers causing her impressively elaborate mural to glow with ethereal light before expanding outwards, touching upon her allies as it traveled. When it had expanded far enough, it halted. In this way, the faint outlines of the shimmering glyphs could be seen hovering about the periphery of the battlefield. Free of the burden of her most time-consuming move, she entered a battle stance and prepared to do her part with the damaging aspect of the fight. This close to the end...we can't back down.

Julia waits.

by Zerifachias Thu Feb 02, 2012 6:29 pm

Lily nearly lost it when she saw one of the stags rush over to where she was, but breathed out a heavy sigh of relief as the animal decided to attack one of her intangible allies, Zero. That meant she was safe, for now. Zero would likely make short work of whatever foolish creature decided to attack her, so Lily set her sights on some other animal.

Quickly retrieving an arrow from her quiver, Lily aimed her shot towards the tree in the distance. She could barely make it out, even with her zooming vision. If she just tilted it slightly so that the arrow would soar through the trees...yes, just like that. Lily tapped the bow with her finger, a concentration of energy forming just in front of the arrowhead.

"Burn and fly," Lily growled, releasing the arrow, which soared through the energy and burst into flames. The flaming missile streaked across the battlefield and lodged itself in one of the animated trees, setting it aflame in an instant.

Zero moves to cell F-5

Zero then took off, with the blessing of the wind at her back she was quick to strike at one of the enemies further away. She had the advantage of mobility, and it was much better for her allies to deal with the ones closer to them while she went and took down the others. As she passed one of the stag, Zero swung her dagger and made a cut on the side of the infected animal. Then immediately afterwards she propelled herself high off the ground with wind and delivered a ruthless blow to the beast, right where she had previously cut it.

It seemed Pan was diving right into the fray. Strange, seeing as how he had avoided confrontations with enemies when he had first joined. If she didn't help the trickster soon, who knows what could happen to him. Seeing Zero take care of the further one, Rosetta locked her eyes on the one Valincar had just attacked.

[Rosetta] moves to [G-3].

Pulling back her weapon, cold air began to emit from the blade until a light icy sheen covered its surface. Now in position, Rosetta thrust her rapier forward, stabbing the stag in its side. She then ripped her weapon out. the blood that was dragged out with it freezing in the air, leaving something similar to an ice spike in the stag's side. Using the same motion, she spun, pivoting around her foot, and slashed at the same spot, breaking the frozen blood and cutting open its flesh. The swing caused freezing winds to blow at the stag as well, sending icy chills through the creature's body.

[Rosetta] uses Freezing Breeze on [Buck]. 30 Ice ATK DMG. 2 hits. Chance of Freeze.

Sonia was quick to react after Scather had been summoned to do battle, quickly spinning with staff extended. The beautiful light shined from the tip as she finished her pirouette like move and pointed in the direction of a far off buck. Though unlike the previous few times, only five orbs of light sprang to life and shot at the target. Sonia frowned, without Zero's wind boosting her dexterity, she was not able to do as much damage as she would like. Shame.

The trickster actually growled as he was hit, seeming surprised by the reaction. "A mite testy are we? Well, we can fix that." He grinned once more and plucked a card from the air. As soon as he flung it, its yellow cloud hopefully doing its work, Annon turned tail and ran for cover. He hadn't fallen unconscious in a while and it seemed he had no intention of doing so this battle. "Carry on!" He called to the others, watching from behind a trunk of an infected tree, one that wasn't animated.

"Curious day," The trickster muttered.

by Shadow Wed Feb 08, 2012 4:28 pm

"It is time." Shadow uttered those words to nobody in particular as the path had cleared, and a target was at direct assaulting distance from his immaterial self.

Two blades soared through the air and sliced at the slightly wounded animal, vicious edges attempting to seep their adverse effects as the beast's flesh was mercilessly sliced from awkward angles, carving curved gashes on it. Before the Infected Stag could do anything else, Shadow caught the slashers and launched them again, amplified strength worsening every blow. As he retrieved both weapons for the second time, he threw a single slasher at the sky, which blurred out of reality as it accelerated to impossible speeds. A debilitating, powerful horizontal slash crossed the animal's form as the weapon curved inwards, into the enemy, and reappeared innocently in Shadow's hand. He smirked as he felt his Mana reserves refill considerably.

{d} - Decaying Tree

Valincar watched as the blanket of decayed leaves fell upon the area like a gentle rain. They passed right through his intangible form as they did to the others, but he turned his head to catch a glimpse at Lily. The leaves were touching her. None seemed to hit Annon; they either downright missed or he was easily able to get out of the way. "Lily, are you going to be all right? Damn. We need to finish this," Valincar growled, his form flickering as he hovered forward through a dead tree and Rosetta. He focused on a stag in the distance.

Valincar moves to F3.

Raising a hand, Valincar watched as numerous portals opened up around the immobilized stag. "The chains of the abyss will drown your rationality! Bend to their will!" At that moment, chains blasted out of the portals, striking the helpless creature from all directions with amazing force, knocking into its head and body in an effort to leave it dazed.

Julia looked around. Everyone appeared to be in grand shape thanks to her glyph...all except the archer. She had a tangible form unlike almost everyone else on the team, and no one could say for certain what effect the leaves had on her, but Valincar definitely seemed worried. Could she be...? No...it couldn't have come to that, she thought as she moved away from everyone, stopping to draw a blue diamond in the air before snapping her fingers causing it to glow. The temperature began to drop in the area quickly as ice formed on the ground and numerous decaying trees. The enemies weren't immune to this ice either, and found themselves struggling not to be consumed by it.

The beast he had attacked... exploded, covering the immediate vicinity in decayed innards and infected blood. Fortunately, they did not appear to touch the Elemental Striker or the Windwalker, by some bizarre stroke of luck. He shrugged at the weird sight, approaching the area where the Infected Stag once stood, already channeling his Mana to perform a familiar technique. The Ombre Skillblade heard Valincar saying something about Lily--was she the first to get infected? Nevertheless, he would not be as careless as her.

"Heh." as he stepped on what remained of the animal, a red wave of strength-enhancing Mana pulsed outwards, hitting the Nightshade, Rosetta and Zero, and of course, Shadow himself. He glanced at the spirit, who had gone directly through a tree to assault a faraway enemy, "It is close to an end, anyway."

Despite still being without the Windwalker's boost, Sonia made her way over into range of one of the treants.

Summoning the familiar spheres of light, she quickly directed them towards the tree creature and watched it fall before her. With a nod to Scather, he once again performed the same attack as previously.

Zero moves to cell D-5

The animal fell to a single strike of her dagger. The Windwalker grinned, she still hasn't lost her touch and her strikes were still lethal. Watching blood pour out of the single wound of the beast, Zero simply disregarded the last time in which she failed to finish Julia's life a mere slip of the hand, a mistake that she was never going to make again. Now, after drawing blood her eyes sharpened to those of a murderer and her sight was immediately directed to the nearest new target, one of the treants. Even though there was no blood to be spilled from the bark of this animated lump of wood, it was standing in her way of getting to another one of the stags which did spill blood when it was killed. And just two quick blows were all that it took to turn the treant into a pile of firewood. Then she moved onto taking down her last target. A brutal blow dealt to the stag was enough to finish it.

An overwhelming sickness. Lily clutched her head, her bow dropping to the ground without a sound. A pounding headache cut out all other noises and made it painful to keep her eyes open. It was painful to close them too. Lily felt like lying down and going to sleep. But no, she would remain standing. It wouldn't help the morale of the others if she were to show weakness in front of them. And no matter how cliche that sounded, Lily sucked in the air around her, tasting the foul wind, and straightened herself as best as she could.

"I-I'm alright," Lily spoke weakly, immediately hating herself for having such a weak voice now. "This is nothing, I've had colds far worse than this." A smile and a lie. Lily had never been sick in her life, this was a completely new experience for her.

Her entire body shaking violently, Lily picked up her bow from the ground, nearly dropping it again in the process. She wanted to show the others she could still fight despite the infection that now coursed through her veins. But no, her bow fell to the ground once again, and this time she followed. Lily landed on her hands and knees and coughed a few times. It hurt far too much, she could hardly move at all.

"I just need to rest a little first," Lily rasped, moving about so she could rest against the tree beside her. Still breathing heavily, Lily decided not to waste any more energy and just lay there to catch her breath.

Lily waits.

Annon moves to G-5.

Annon watched the battle unfold, eyes bright though still seeming vacant. All but one fell and he set his eyes on the last feeling determined. Why or exactly what he was trying to prove, he didn't know, still his legs carried him forward near the Windwalker. He took off his hat with a slight frown, checking it for dust and dirt. He wiped his footprint off of it, blew the dust away and made sure it retained its original shape. Satisfied, Annon gave a small grin and set it back on his head. Now he felt ready.

Annon waits.

Hearing Valincar's exclamation, Rosetta's eyes snapped away from their enemies to lock onto the archer. It was clear the infection had got to her and she wasn't looking too good at the moment. In fact, it looked like the archer was going to fall unconscious any second now. When she collapsed, Rosetta resisted the urge to rush over to the female and check her status. They were, unfortunately, still in battle. Checking on Lily would have to wait until they finished off all the creatures in their path.

Returning her gaze to the battlefield, it was clear there was only one adversary left. An infected tree that would soon fall if they could just hit it once more. Unfortunately, Rosetta didn't have the capability to reach it, not to mention there were trees in her way. She would have to take the long way around if she wanted to reach the damn tree.

[Rosetta] moves to [F-5].

Valincar casts Syphonja on all enemies! 7 Piercing Dmg! [+14 MP Recovered]

MP: 74/75

Valincar had been vastly taken aback by the extremely large blast of energy the treant poured forth. He didn't even know it had been capable of such an attack. Looking at the others who had been caught in the blast...he placed a hand over the place where his heart would be if he were alive. The energy was tainted with the virus. There was no doubt about it. The phantom had been spared, for he was not of the living, but the others... They would no doubt suffer. And there was still Lily that needed to be checked up on. Valincar raised a hand into the air. "Your mana shall betray you. Come, serve your new master." Blue auras surged up around the treants causing them to wail in anguish as Valincar caused their mana cycles to rupture and denature. The auras collected in the air and traveled straight to his hand where it entered his own body. He looked over at Julia hoping that she could take care of the rest.

Valincar waits.

Julia uses Butterfly Swarm on Phyll! 29 Dmg! (INT) [Chance of Sap]

MP: 65/85

She had the chance to end it, and thus she did. Drawing elegant butterfly glyphs in the air, she snapped her fingers causing them to glow and come to life. The beautiful beings fluttered forth gently towards the dying infected treant before suddenly swirling around it viciously in a mad flurry, draining the thing's energy. Flashes of light could be seen from within the maelstrom as the butterflies stole away its life before vanishing in a burst of glitter that rained down upon the sickly earth.

Lily watched the others fight from the corner of her eye. She merely sat there, wheezing and trying to catch her breath. The infection had already spread across her body, she could hardly move a muscle. After a few coughs, Lily groaned in pain, her voice shaking. Never felt this terrible in my life, Lily thought to herself, closing her eyes despite the pain that brought her. There was no use in trying to hide her condition anymore. She didn't have the strength for that.

Lily continued to lean against the tree, no strength yet to move. Embarrassing. Lily's status was humiliating for her. She'd have to speak at some point, to report her status to the others, as some of them would be concerned for her.

I feel like death, that's my status. Lily rolled her eyes to the top of her head. Sweat finally started to form on every inch of her skin. Her immune system was definitely not used to having such a deadly virus course through her veins.

by **Silver** Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:21 pm

"This..." Sonia's voice faded as she looked around their party. Annon, Lily, Rosetta, and Zero had been infected in their battle; most of them had contracted the disease in the last moments of the fight. She would have too had it not been for her intangibility. When her eyes caught sight of the Archer however, she finished her sentence. "is a problem."

Sonia was quick to move in the direction of the fallen Archer, pursing her lips slightly. Though Lily had not made the best impression on the young summoner, she knew just leaving the weakened girl without help was not the way to go. Once finally in range, Sonia raised her staff towards the bow user, a small aurora surrounding her. However her body refused the light, and Sonia frowned, whatever this disease was it refused to be healed like other ailments. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind, Sonia finally closed the distance between the two and lowered to be on the girl's level.

"Do... do you need.... some help?" It felt odd to say. One because the answer was obvious, two because the both of them had never been close. She had never expected the Archer to need her help, Lily seemed capable of dealing with her problems herself. And yet, here she was, asking the very question that likely shocked several of the group's members.

by Zerifachias Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:38 pm

As soon as Lily felt the light surround her, her eyes opened and stared blankly up at Sonia, who was attempting to cure the virus that crippled her. But it was to no avail, Lily could still feel the virus inside her. It was almost as if the virus was ignoring Sonia's magic. That was definitely not a good sign and did not make Lily feel any better.

"I dunno," Lily rasped, still hating her voice for being so weak. "I'm pretty heavy, you know." Maybe not as heavy as she felt, but Lily wasn't too convinced Sonia had the physical strength to lift her, especially in her condition. Lily looked down at her limp left hand, the ring on her finger sparkling up at her.

Lily sucked in her breath and willed her muscles to move through the pain. She straightened her back up against the tree and bent her legs closer to her body. Lily then held up her right hand towards Sonia, "But a bit of help would be much appreciated," Lily contorted her face and offered the best smile she could before Sonia allowed her to use her as a support.

by **Silver** Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:44 pm

Sonia nodded in response, knowing that this might go badly due to her stunning lack of physical strength. Yet she took the Archer's hand anyway, and carefully attempted to pull the girl to her feet slowly. It was a rather difficult process, mostly because Sonia was not the right person to be doing this, but after several moments of precise movement it had somewhat worked. The Archer's full weight was on the Summoner and she was shaking to keep her up. It would do for now, but if they were to get the infected girl walking, someone stronger would have to take over. Still, it was a start.

"S... someone... want to... lend a hand?"

by Xenosaga Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:54 pm

Shit! Rosetta pressed a hand over her mouth as she tried to stop the coughing fit that rose in her throat. But it was too late and she was down on one knee, unable to fight off the pain that came with the infection that now spread through her body. She had been careless, that was obvious. Her eyes snapped over to see who else was caught in the blast and they caught sight of Zero and Valincar.

The ghost appeared to be fine but it was clear to her that Zero was not. Rosetta gritted her teeth, forcefully pushing back the pain and coughs and weakness in her body to stand once more on her feet. For a moment, she seemed unstable before she caught a hold of herself and shook it off. This was nothing compared to the countless times she was knocked unconscious by a devastating hit from an enemy.

Amber eyes wandered over the group and Rosetta bit back a frustrated growl upon seeing Pan infected as well. This would no doubt hinder their progress into the forest but the fencer refused to stop. Even if they did, it would not make the virus infecting them disappear. Still, they would have to regroup and take a short break. They weren't in any condition to immediately march forward again. With half their group weakened, and from the looks of it the summoner couldn't cure it, moving on now would be suicide.

"Valincar," she began, turning to face the ghost. She made sure to keep her voice even and buried the weakness that threatened to reveal itself. "I believe it would be best to regroup and rest. Pan, Zero, Lily and I have been infected. I do not believe we are contagious, however, I think it would be best if we checked the status of the group as a whole." Rosetta could feel her body's wish to collapse onto the ground but ignored it. It would get over it. "And Lily seems to be unused to sickness." It would take a truly ignorant being to not realize the archer was being much too weak against this virus.

Seeing the summoner having problems, Rosetta took long, even strides over to the two. Once at their sides, she placed a hand on the summoner's shoulder and slowly shook her head.

"It would be best if you let her down," Rosetta advised, amber eyes losing some of their usual edge at the sight of the sickly archer. "Forcing her to move will only make it worse for her." Not to mention, they could run the risk of entering another battle if they moved on forward. "Lily, are you thirsty?"

by Zerifachias Sun Feb 12, 2012 1:11 pm

The moment she was on her feet, Lily welt a wave of dizziness overwhelm her. Standing was obviously not a good idea at this point. She couldn't help but feel a little relieved when Rosetta told her to sit back down. That much, Lily could do on her own. Lily detached her arm from Sonia and fell back, feeling no pain from hitting her backside. The infection was blunting out all other sources of pain that she felt.

It wasn't until Rosetta asked if she was thirsty did Lily notice how dehydrated she was. Lily was surprised she was still conscious at this point. The human body typically shut down when pain became too much to bear, and Lily was in a lot of pain. But what really bugged her, was that Rosetta seemed almost unaffected by the infection, for she had gotten it as well, Lily watched it happen.

"Yes," Lily answered Rosetta's question, hating her weakness. Lily looked over to Sonia, "Thanks for trying to help, but I don't think standing is a good idea right now." Another wave of pain, Lily ignored it. She was getting better at ignoring the pain, but it still hurt to move.

by **Cerani** Sun Feb 12, 2012 1:23 pm

Annon had let loose a cough as the leaves did their work, swatting a hand in front of his face as if it would actually help. He did his best to stand tall as Valincar and Julia took down the last enemy, his would-be target. As soon as it fell, he swayed precariously, putting his hand over his forehead and steadying himself with the other. His head felt full, different than usual, his sense of equilibrium thrown off by this sickness. Annon started to laugh a little as a realization hit him, only to have it turn into a hacking, wet cough. "So, this is what a rotten banana feels like. Hit the ground too hard . . ."

The trickster moved slowly towards the others to be more in a group form, feeling his legs ready to give out on him at any moment. They all seemed alive, for the most part, but three more were sick like he was. "Battle was won, not the war." He observed, touching his forehead again. "Everyone coping?" A rather coherent question, though it was a certain possibility Annon could've been speaking to the leaves or nonexistent birds.

by **Masquerade** Sun Feb 12, 2012 1:24 pm

Valincar felt like dropping to the ground and just resting in a crumpled heap. He was lucky to be dead, or he would have been infected as well. He could feel it in the remains of the pulsing energy the tree had released. It still lashed out at him, though it did nothing. He turned to Rosetta. "I agree wholeheartedly. We will rest, and that means you as well," he said firmly, approaching the woman. "I know you're trying to be strong for everyone, but you're sick as well," he told her in a hushed voice. "Me and the ones that managed to avoid infection can handle this. Please...just take it easy, all right?" He gave her a reassuring smile, though it was a sad one. Taking a deep breath, though not necessary, he gazed around at the others. Half the team had pretty much succumbed to the virus, but that was a very real danger they had to face.

"Julia, I trust you can handle water for Lily? And the others while you're at it; they're bound to be thirsty as well. Shadow, do you think you can handle a quick patrol around the area? If we're going to take time to rest, someone's got to do watch. I'll join you so we can keep more ground covered, not to mention I can get back to this area faster." He turned and faced Sonia. "Sonia, help Julia distribute water and just keep an eye out for everyone. If they need help, just do your best and Julia will be able to help you out as well."

Julia had been over to the side, but rejoined the others. "This is horrible...I know you guys were willing to face this threat, but still..." She shook her head sadly and quickly produced several vials, enough for each of the infected people. She set them out on the ground and began drawing glyphs that looked like droplets of water. At the snap of her fingers, little clouds began to form and unleashed a light rain, the water falling into the vials and filling them. "I'll do my best to help," she said, gathering them up. She walked over to Lily and handed her one before approaching Rosetta with hers and then Zero. Finding the trickster, she rushed over to him and gave him water as well.

by **Silver** Sun Feb 12, 2012 1:34 pm

Sonia pursed her lips, mentally disappointed with herself for not thinking about the Archer's obvious inexperience with being sick. No doubt she would be feeling the effects far worse than anyone else. When the subject of water came up, however, the Summoner's eyes widened slightly. She quickly reached into her bag, only to frown when she pulled out a potion. She thought that there had been a canteen or some kind of container with something to drink, but apparently not. Still, if it came down to it, they would have something to drink... even if it was the nasty medicine.

It was at that moment that she looked over to the Trickster, a frown soon formed on her face. Brow furrowed, she moved over to him and looked him over. She had seen him get sick, but now that she paid him mind, even he was feeling the effects. Not so much as Lily, but definitely more than Rosetta was. Her frown deepened and her brow furrowed further as she looked to Zero, and then back to Annon. She could not heal this sickness, it forced their bodies to reject her magic like there was nothing wrong with them.

"It seems the Daisy has lost her use."

It was at that moment that Valincar began to give orders, her duty being to help take care of those who were sick. Though it seemed Julia was quite capable of dealing with the water situation, so she just nodded. Hopefully those who were sick would sit down to rest for the moment and let the rest of them take care of them for the time being. However, as Sonia looked around, she could not help but feel like she would not be of any help to her allies.

Her healing was entirely useless, even if she just tried to restore their energy. The virus would just lash out even more and make them worse. "Wilting." She nodded with a sigh.

by Xenosaga Sun Feb 12, 2012 2:22 pm

At Valincar's soft words, Rosetta gave him a slight nod. She did not contradict the ghost, despite the slight error in his thoughts. She wasn't trying to be strong for the group. Rosetta's lips tightened into a thin line, eyebrows furrowing slightly. She just didn't want to show weakness. She was a prideful person, after all. To show weakness was the same as allowing yourself to be killed.

Then again, Rosetta thought bitterly, it was already too late for that. Clearing her head of such thoughts, she gave Julia a slight nod of thanks for the water and took a careful drink. Her throat wasn't too dry but the water was cool and refreshing. It certainly did ease some of her pain but did nothing to restore her strength. Still, she appreciated it. Falling onto one knee, her rapier now sheathed at her side, Rosetta pressed a hand against Lily's forehead.

"You're burning up," she noted with a small frown, her voice soft. "Is this your first time being sick?"
